 <p class="para">
  This section describes all the different formats that the
  <span class="function"><a href="function.strtotime.html" class="function">strtotime()</a></span>, <a href="class.datetime.html" class="classname">DateTime</a>
  and <span class="function"><a href="function.date-create.html" class="function">date_create()</a></span> parser understands. The formats
  are grouped by section. In most cases formats from different
  sections can be used in the same date/time string. For each of
  the supported formats, one or more examples are given, as well
  as a description for the format. Characters in single quotes in
  the formats are case-insensitive (<em>&#039;t&#039;</em> could
  be <em>t</em> or <em>T</em>), characters in
  double quotes are case-sensitive (<em>&quot;T&quot;</em> is only
  <em>T</em>).
